Hand-built in the USA from seamless drawn 6061 T6 butted aluminum, it carries forward Crupi's proven race-winning geometry while introducing meaningful upgrades across the board. The updated frame features wrap-around seat stays, a slightly shorter seat tube, and a redesigned built-in Disc Adapter that eliminates the need for axle-mounted adapters entirely.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Every detail on the Catalina 2.0 is engineered to maximize stiffness, strength, and control at speed. From the larger-diameter square down tube to the teardrop-shaped chain stays and thicker 3D dropouts, this frame is built to perform in serious BMX race environments. Whether your rider is just stepping up to competition or chasing podiums at the national level, the Catalina 2.0 delivers the precision and durability that Crupi has been known for since day one.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSA Hand-Built:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every frame is hand-built in the USA - quality-controlled from start to finish with no overseas shortcuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6061 T6 Butted Aluminum Tubing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seamless drawn 6061 T6 butted tubing delivers an ideal balance of strength and low weight for BMX racing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e17.75\" Top Tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sized specifically for riders 4'3\" to 4'5\", providing race-optimized reach and handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Disc Adapter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated disc brake adapter removes the need for axle-mounted adapters - compatible with Tektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, and all Shimano hydraulic disc brake kits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrap-Around Seat Stays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redesigned wrap-around seat stays improve rear-end stiffness and frame durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeardrop Chain Stays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tear-drop shaped chain stay tubes provide exceptional stiffness and strength in the rear triangle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Down Tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger diameter square-shaped down tube adds rigidity and torsional strength to the front end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParallel 3\/8\" (10mm) Axle Slots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Axle slots run parallel to the ground so rear wheel position never affects frame geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThicker 3D Dropouts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-thick 3D-machined dropouts add stiffness for disc brake use while still accommodating standard chain tensioners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV-Brake Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brake posts are retained on all Crupi frames for full V-Brake compatibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\" Integrated Head Tube \u0026amp; EB24 Euro BB:\u003c\/strong\u003e Industry-standard specs for easy component compatibility and straightforward builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrupi Catalina 2.0 Mini Race Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Crupi has been building race-proven BMX frames in the USA for decades, and the Catalina 2.0 represents the latest evolution of that legacy. This frame is trusted by competitive riders and their families who refuse to compromise on quality or performance. The all-American construction means every weld, tube, and dropout is built to withstand the punishment of regular race-day use, season after season. The built-in disc adapter and refined geometry make this one of the most technically complete mini race frames available at any price point. Because these frames are hand-built to order and frequently in high demand, knowing you have one locked in means your rider is always race-ready. For parents and coaches investing in a young racer's development, the Crupi Catalina 2.0 is a frame you can build around with confidence.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMini Race\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTop Tube Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.75\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRider Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4'3\" to 4'5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTubing Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeamless Drawn 6061 T6 Butted Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Tube\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\" Integrated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottom Bracket\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEB24 Euro BB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAxle Slot Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\" (10mm), parallel to ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDisc Brake Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, all Shimano hydraulic kits (Hope, Avid \u0026amp; mechanical kits do not fit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRequired Disc Rotor Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120mm (Crupi Disc Adapter Kit required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Post Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eV-Brake compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA (hand-built)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size rider is the Catalina 2.0 Mini Race Frame designed for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Catalina 2.0 Mini Race Frame is designed for riders between 4'3\" and 4'5\" tall. It features a 17.75\" top tube, which is the standard sizing for the BMX mini race class.

The kit is sold separately. Compatible disc brake systems include Tektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, and all Shimano hydraulic kits.

All Crupi frames retain brake posts for V-Brake use, so you are not locked into a disc brake setup. Whether you prefer the simplicity of V-Brakes or want to run hydraulic disc brakes, the Catalina 2.0 supports both configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the Catalina 2.0 and the original Catalina frame?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Catalina 2.0 is a full redesign that keeps the race-winning geometry of its predecessor while adding several meaningful upgrades. Key changes include wrap-around seat stays, a slightly shorter seat tube, and a new built-in disc adapter that replaces the need for separate axle-mounted disc adapters. The result is a cleaner, stiffer, and more competition-ready frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow long will it take to receive my frame if it's out of stock?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eBecause all Crupi frames are hand-built in the USA, certain colors and sizes can sell out quickly. Crupi produces new frame orders on a rolling basis, so availability varies. If your preferred size or color is not in stock, you can contact Crupi directly to be placed on a priority list - when that frame becomes available, you'll have first opportunity to purchase it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes this frame require professional assembly?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Catalina 2.0 is sold as a bare frame only and will require a full component build to ride. This includes a headset, bottom bracket, fork, bars, stem, cranks, wheels, and brakes. While experienced builders can assemble at home, we recommend having a qualified bike mechanic handle the build to ensure everything is properly torqued and safe for race use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crupi BMX","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ with BlackWht Fade decals","offer_id":57270039675185,"sku":"sku-42260204519513","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ with RedBlack Fade decals","offer_id":57270039707953,"sku":"sku-42260204552281","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ with BlueBlack Fade decals","offer_id":57270039740721,"sku":"sku-42260204585049","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ with Fucshia Fade decals","offer_id":57270039773489,"sku":"sku-47634123325529","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \/ with BlackWht Fade decals","offer_id":57270039806257,"sku":"sku-43104055885913","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ with RedBlack Fade decals","offer_id":57270039839025,"sku":"sku-42260204683353","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ with BlueBlack Fade decals","offer_id":57270039871793,"sku":"sku-42260204716121","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ with Fucshia Fade decals","offer_id":57270039904561,"sku":"sku-47634123358297","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Charcoal \/ with BlackWht Fade decals","offer_id":57270039937329,"sku":"sku-42260204814425","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ with RedBlack Fade decals","offer_id":57270039970097,"sku":"sku-42260204847193","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ with BlueBlack Fade decals","offer_id":57270040002865,"sku":"sku-42260204879961","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal \/ with Fucshia Fade decals","offer_id":57270040035633,"sku":"sku-47634123391065","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/2026_Mini_Black_wRedBlk_Fade.jpg?v=1793648373","url":"https:\/\/omahasportsandgames.com\/products\/crupi-catalina-2-0-mini-race-frame","provider":"Omaha Sports \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
